Village Of Tinley Park Prepares For 2020 Census

From the Village of Tinley Park:

The Village of Tinley Park will join municipalities from across the country in taking part in the 2020 United States Census. The data collected helps determine the number of seats Illinois has in the U.S. House of Representatives and the amount of federal funds received for such things as schools, senior centers and public works projects. It also is the basis for many state revenue payments, such as income tax and motor fuel fax.

The Village will host a Census Day event on April 1 at Village Hall, during which residents can stop by, ask questions and get access to the Internet in order to respond online. Stop by for help and refreshments!

Responses to the 2020 Census are safe, secure and protected by federal law. Your answers can only be used to produce statistics; they cannot be used against you in any way. By law, all responses to U.S. Census Bureau household and business surveys are kept completely confidential.

Please let the Village know if you have any questions regarding the 2020 Census or if you are interested in planning an event. The Village and the Census Bureau would be glad to help.
